Why do battered women protect their husbands lives?

It has to do with law, corruption and bribery. The law in those countries let it happen. That's just the reality.

It isn't just Latin men.

American men are just as much ****ing assholes as any other culture.

Many women suffer a version of Stockholm syndrome.

Stockholm syndrome is a condition which causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors during captivity.

You make a stupid argument and want to selectively apply it to a culture you appear to not like.

I find America has had a similar history.

I had a friend who was as close as a sister to me.

She broke up with her boyfriend and he beat her up and then raped her.

The police did nothing because it was a boyfriend / girlfriend issue. (1982)

I had him put in the hospital and when he awoke I was the first person he saw.

I told him "I heard you had an accident, it is the type accident that will kill you if it was to happen again."

The enforcement of laws comes and goes, but male on female violence is with us everyday.

Attacking someone who is weaker is cowardice and almost pitiful, almost but not quite.

Men are not entitled to question womens choices. Why start waffling here. They knew what kind of person they were marrying and chose to do so and if they didnt they could of left. If they choose to stay thats on them and i have no sympathy for them.

Men in some regions of Latin America are extraordinarily violent. They are violent at home and violent in public. I have seen example after example where a wife will buy a bottle of tequila or cachaça for their husband to drink at home rather than see him go out in public and get into a machete fight. She would rather take a beating than see her husband dead. If he were dead, wouldn't she be free of her batterer?

What is your sourcing that Latin Men are extraordinarily violent? Be specific about which regions you're talking about. Because it seems like you're not really asking a question, you're making a statement.

It is more of a question than a statement. In countries with ineffective law enforcement violent men are a two edged sword. If the wife gets out of a violent husband's way, he stands a good chance of winding up in the morgue which means the batterer is out of her life. I have seen several women directly intervene to stop a violent husband going into harm's way. I'm just a bit mystified why they would do that.

I have a specific question for you: If you had a female relative that could convince such a woman to let her husband get into a machete fight, would you do it? How would you feel about accompanying such a woman to the morgue to identify her husband, especially knowing that his death occurred by acting on your advice? You wouldn't be legally liable, but your deeds would be attributable to someone's death.

I would do it in a heartbeat and not feel the slightest guilt or remorse. Death by machete is too kind for anyone that would harm the women in my life and under my protection.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, just pointing out the reality. I have met a few 18-21 year old widows. Some women do make the choice of not interfering with an abusive husband meeting his death. That's sometimes how problems get solved in a lawless environment.

Man goes and gets drunk, gets into and is killed in a machete fight, and you blame his wife for instead not urging him to stay home and beat her instead? That's some extremely twisted woman-hating going on in that reasoning. :roll:

The Democratic Party's plan for how to deal with this is to promise those men who assault women is to promise them sanctuary if they will leave their wife and children to instead come to the USA and beat (rape and murder) American women instead.

No blaming here, only looking at outcomes associated with the different actions. It's playing the cards one is dealt as it were.
